The C'halkley-Leconey Murder Trial in Progress. Philadelphia, Feb. 3.— A jury was Obtained in the Chalkley-Leconey mur der case in Camden to-day. The pris oner was brought into court. He wore a smiling face, and chatted with some friends for a short time. The state was represented by Prosecutor Wilson 11. Jenkins, ex-Prosecutor ß. S. Jenkins, stud R. B. S. Ridgeway, the assistant prosecutor of the pleas; and the prisoner by Samuel H. Grey, ex-Judge D. J. Pancoast and Joseph H. Gaskill, of Mount Holly. There was only one witness examined up to the hour of adjournment of court, and his testimony referred to several visits to the Leconey residence, and to the Vwl spots on the window sill.

Redman went to her assist ance yesterday morning, since which time neither vessel has been seen, in consequence of the prevalence of a dense fog. It is supposed the steamer wanted the assistance of tugs. The re port did not reach here until evening, otherwise tugs would have been sent to assist her. REVISION OF THE CREED. New York's Presbytery Favors It 'by a Vote of Two to One. New Yoke, Feb. The Scotch Pres byterian church was filled to its utmost capacity this afternoon when the New York presbytery met to vote on the proposed revision of the confession of faith reported by the committee ap pointed to prepare an answer to trie general assembly's overture, and to submit that answer to the presbytery. The body of the church was crowded with clergymen and elders, and the seats and aisles in the galleries were occupied by members of the various churches. Rev. . Dr. Robert F. Sam ple, moderator, called the meeting to order, and after prayer had been of fered business was begun with a read ing of the report, which had already been read a dozen or more times and was known by heart to many of the clergymen present. The preamble to the committee's report was adopted without discussion. It detailed the work which had been done by the com mittee and spoke of the care with which they considered THE QUESTION OF REVISION", and laid stress on the statement that they deprecated attempts to remodel the confession, beyond making these changes which were urgently needed and generally asked for. The presby tery then took up those sections of the report, which provided for the revision of the confession of faith. They were as follows: First— desire that the third chapter after the first section be so recast as to in clude these things only: The sovereignly or God in election ; the general love of God for all mankind; the salvation in Christ Jesus provided for all, and to be preached to every creature. ■ . Second— We desire that the tenth chapter be so revised as not to appear as discriminat ing concerning ''infants dying in infancy," or so as to omit all reference to them (sec.o) ; and so to preclude that explanation of see. 4 which makes it teach the damnation of all heathen, or makes it deny that there are any elect heathen who are regenerated and saved dv Christ through the Spirit, and who en deavor to walk in penitence and humility, according to the measure of light which God has been pleased to grant them. Rev. Dr. Paxton, of Princeton, moved that all that portion of section 1 after the word "chapter be. stricken out, and the words "remain unchanged" be inserted instead. The moderator said that Dr. Paxton's motion was inconsistent. Rev. Dr. Howard Crosby remarked that Dr. Paxton had the right to make a foolish motion if he desired. Dr. Paxton said that the third chapter had been a fixture in the confession for 200 years, and that it was essential to Calvinism. Pretori tion and reprobation, he held, should not be excluded from the confession. They were half of its care. Rev. Dr. Crosby, In reply, argued that the third chapter was the proper place to intro duce the love of God. Just as many of the old school as those ot the new school desired a revision, and argumeut to the contrary was stale. . Elder Henry Day, of the Fifth Avenue church, said that they had no right to be bound by any CONTRACT OF THEIR GRANDFATHERS. They were not bound by Calvinism to believe in the damnation of infants. Prof. Charles ßriggs said that pretoriton was not an essential of Calvinism and ought to be excluded. Dr. Charles S. Robinson moved that the vote on Dr. Paxton'S" motion bo taken by calling the roll. This was lost by a vote of 50 against 29. On a motion to rescind the vote taken on Dr. Robinson's motion for the roll call it was again lost by a vote Of 88 to 30. The motion of Dr. Paxton was lost by a decisive viva voce vote. Rev. Dr. John Hall, an enthusiastic anti-revisionist, then offered a substitute for the section which provided that if the general assembly should see proper it should formulate a brief foot-note to the third chapter of the confession explanatory of its interpre tation, and thus do away with any stumbling blocks or conflicting interpre tations. Rev. Van Dyke claimed that if the chapter needed such an explana tory note that was sufficient to warrant it being cat out altogether. Rev. Dr. Hall had sam that in these days of Uni versalism they should take a decided stand on the questions contained in the chapter, and to this Dr. Van Dyke re plied that the speaker had no right to introduce the subject of Universalisni into the discussion. Dr. Hall said that he had intended nothing personal. Dr. Crosby, in opposing Dr. Hail's substi tute, said that his only objection was that it placed GOD'S LOVE IX A FOOT-NOTE. The moderator here announced that if there were any more applause, he would entertain a motion to adjourn. The substitute was lost by a vote of eighty against forty-four. The report favoring revision whs then adopted as presented by the committee. There was a general discussion as to whether the roll should be called at this point, as the report really ended here, or whether the presbytery should vote on the rec ommendations added to the report by the committee, and it was decided to call the roll. This resulted in ninety three clergymen ana elders voting for the report, and forty-three clergymen and elders against it. As the matter stands the New York presbytery has declared itself in favor of a revision of the Westminster confession of faith by a vote of more than two to one. a» DASHED INTO A RIVER. lliree Lives Lost in a Railroad Wreck Near Peoria. PEORIA, ill., Feb. 3.— A freight train on the Ohio, Indiana & Western ad, or composed of twenty loaded box cars and a caboose left here for the East at 7 o'clock to-night, and before it had gotten out of the city, it was completely wrecked and three lives lost. The track crosses the Illi nois river at the lower end of the town. The engine had hardly started on the bridge when the first span save way in such a manner as to form an inclined plane into the river. The engine jamed with terrific force against the first stone pier. The first freight car plowed over the tender and into the cab", completely wrecking it. Then nine other cars piled on top of each sther. In the engine were Engineer Neville, Fireman O'Brien and Head Brrkeman Lewis, all of Urbana, 111. Neither O'Brien nor Lewis has been seen since, but both are known to be dead in the wreck. Neville's feet were caught in the engine and only his head was out of water. Desperate ef forts were made to save him. but, after two hours' work, thp wreck toppled over into the river, drowning . him. It will be at least twenty-four hours before the wreck can be cleared away and the bodies of the unfortunate men recov ered. It is estimated that the financial loss will be about FJO.OOO. **.

A Murderous Arkansan Kills His Wife, Her Paramour and a Neighbor. • Mariana, Ark., Feb. Meager de tails of a double and possibly a triple murder reached here this morning. Friday night or Saturday morning a timberman named Kelly.employed near Alligator Bayou, heard that his wife, from whom he had been sepaiated about a year, was intimate with a boy nine teen years old. He at once started for the house, and, finding Mrs. Kelly and the boy there, opened tire on the latter, killing him instantly. Mrs. Kelly re taliated by firing twice at her husband, who then turned his attention to killing her also. Kelly's wounds were only slight. Kelly then went to the house of a neighbor named Owens, made him saddle his horse and start out with him, ostensibly to Forest City to give himself up. As nothing has been heard from them at that place, it is feared that Owens was also murdered, an old grudge, it is said, having existed be tween them. —^»» BOOKED FOR JOJLIET. Ex-Editor West Is Refused a New Trial. 'Chicago, Feb. 3. — Judge Grinnell this afternoon overruled the motion for a new trial for James J. West, and im posed sentence upon the one-time presi dent of the Chicago Times company in accordance with the verdict, five years in the penitentiary and a fine of $1,000. The charee on which the prisoner was convicted was fraudulent overissue of Times stock to the ex tent of nearly $130,000. The prisoner was visibly affected when sent ence was pronounced, but soon re covered his usual spirit. In concluding arguments in the case, Gen. Stiles for the defense said that by public clamor against one of the jurors in the Cronin case, the jury in the West case were influenced to bring in a conviction. Col. Munn, in closing for the state, pointed out the danger in this country of great criminals going free and only little ones being convicted. Judge Grinnell briefly summed up the points in the case, overruled the motion tor a new trial and allowed an excep tion. It is not yet determined when West will be taken to the. penitentiary. -•■ AS TO TALK-TELLING. It Is a Bad Habit in Children, and should Be .stamped Out. Omaha Herald. "Tell-tale tit. your tongue shall be slit. And all the dogs in your town shall have a lit lie bit." What a horrible threat! When we were youngsters we believed that this fate really overtook "tell-tale," and many a time when we had been guilty of tale-bearing we would tremble for our tongue's safety. If this vile habit, for vile it is, begins to show itself in little children, it should be steadily battled with, for it is a dan gerous foe to one's happiness in after life. What's more contemptible than the boy or girl, man or woman, who goes from one to another gathering and bearing tales, repeating slanders, carry ing news? To some it is almost a sec ond nature. The habit has been al lowed to grow upon them till they do it without realizing that they are doing it. Mothers, look out for the sprouts and root them up before they have time to bear much fruit.

The Remains of Mrs. and Miss Tracy Taken to the White House. -}: : \ : Washixgton, Feb. — The remains of Mr. Tracy and those ot her daughter Mary were conveyed to the executive mansion to-night. The remains lie in caskets in the center of the East room of the White house, beneath the crystal chandeliers whose lights a week ago shone upon them as they gayly greeted their numerous friends at the last presi dential reception. The death chamber is now dimly lighted and is somber, gloomy and quiet, with no one within it save the dead and one of the door keepers, who will keep watch over the remains. The bodies were brought to the White house about C o'clock by order of the president, who has taken charge of whatever arrangements for the fu neral it was necessary to makejat pros* ent. The caskets are covered with black velvet and the mountings are of silver. Upon each casket are long leaved palms with sweet peas and lilies. No final arrangements for the funeral have been made as yet, and none will be made until the arrival of Secretary Tracy's son and Gen. Catlin, his broth-; er-in-law, who are expected on a late train to-night. To-night the injured are improving. The president visited Sec retary Tracy again this evening and found him regaining his i strength, though still hardly able to realize the great loss he has sustained. To-mor row the president will have the secre tary removed to the White house. .?•. ■ i SKETCHES OF THE VICTIMS. ■ A Happy Family, With Hosts of Friends. • Washington, Feb. 3.— Mrs. Benja min F. Tracy, the wife of the secretary of the navy, was in the sixtieth year of her age. Gen. Tracy, who was born and brought up in Oswego, N. V., mar ried Miss Catlin in 1854. They resided in that place until 1865, when they moved to Brooklyn, where their home has since been. Three children have blessed tneir union. Two are daughters and the other a son. Mrs. Emma L. Wilmerdmg, the eldest daughter, is a widow with one child. Mrs. Wilmerd ing has resided with her parents since her husband's death, and went with them to Washington. Frank B. Tracy, the only son. favors his father in ap pearance and in his business ability. He is thirty years old and unmarried. He now lives at home, and only spends in Washington what time he can spare from his father's business. Miss Mary Tracy, the unmarried daughter, one of the victims of the disaster, was like her mother in appearance. She was very amiable, and had hosts of friends who will be horrified to learn of her dreadful fate. FUNERAL OF THE MAID. It Will Occur at the Capital To- Day.

From a Man's Point of View— How -One Woman Treats An other, K^vj "Chatterer" in the Boston Courier: i It pains me to learn that woman in of fice is somewhat of a failure; at least in New York. It seems that she carries into her official life certain traits that aro characteristic of her sex, but which - are not in harmony . with business affairs. In the first place, the woman official is severely offensive to women, from whom she exacts more than the legal pound of flesh, and for whom she shows a contempt and lofty toleration that are outside the limits of law. The cause of this attitude of woman against woman has as yet eluded the search of science and confounded -. the theories of philosophy; and, to conclude, even I have no solution to offer. And yet, if we consider the matter closely, we shall find a reason, if not a cause. A man appears before a woman in office already crushed; it has absorbed all his courage to face official femininity, and if he does not receive all the snubs and the contempt that he is prepared for he is more disappointed than surprised. The woman behind the desk is an awe-inspiring object to the bravest man; she is her sex plus author ity, Charlotte Corday and Minerva com bined. She is not the more imposing by reason of her office, but the office is im posing because sho fills it, because the office is herself. Such a woman may In sist on anything unhindered of man". He is even content, at her command, to concede that the earth Is flat for the time being. He appears before so much majesty in a commanding atti tude: he waits her pleasure patiently before receiving the postage stamp for which he applies, cash in hand; ho stifles his haste to obtain his letters un til she sees fit to give them to him. For these reasons the official woman does not go out of her way to annoy or to torture man ; she accepts him as a worm, and because he is weak she refrains fiom treading on him, and goes no fur ther than to turn a deaf car to his ap p'ication for letters or stamps, and to gorgonize him with her Tenuysonian "stony stare." A woman approaches the official woman-guarded window in a different attitude, in fact in a belligerent attitude, and the monarch of all she surveys re ceives her in au equal belligerent spirit. Two hungry dogs approaching the same bone will give a fair idea of the situation. The passive indifference shown to that humble creature, man, no longer exists; the adversaries both have their lances in rest, and each is looking for the weakest soot in the armor of the other. There is an ominous silence, during which the fashion of garments and fashion of features are criticised: there is an ominous sniff, a snapping of eyes, an elaborate exhibition of a chip on the shoulder for opponents to remove vio lently, a lofty staring at tops of heads instead of into eyes; an aggressiveness of excessive, overpoliteness; the fine malice of preventing to the utmost the consummation of the object that both liave at heart; the overzeal ous desire to make a fault and find it, to Imagine an insult and re sent it, to compel insolence that breeds the insult. Naturally, the women who are not officials complain of the women who are officials, and the womau be hind the window complains of the woman in front of it. This is the serious danger that confronts the woman who aspires for public office— the weight that drags her down when in office. The fault Is hers individually, but it is the failing of the sex generally— impos sibility of a woman treating a woman in any other way than as a rival or an antagonist. The woman in office cannot escape from her self. She refuses to see, or cannot see, any difference between a free, if tax paying, public and her own family cir cle. She carries her home character . istics into pubiic affairs, regarding men , as the possessors of obnoxious latch keys, and women as the victims of them. Her clients are punished for her tooth aches and responsible for her dyspepsia. That she is compelled to hold lowly office is the fault of the world, and the world must suffer for it. She knows that she is better than other women, and demstrates her superiority to anticipate their doubt, or the doubt that she has invented for them. This is not gallant, but. unfort unately, it is true. There can be no question that, with time, the faults in dicated will, be remedied; but, until they are. woman in office will be a con stant exasperation to woman out of office. It is true that woman out of office is equally exasperating to woman in office, and the proverbial man's in humanity to man is thus furnished with a parallel in woman's antagonism to woman. » CONKLING'S IDEAL LOVE. A Romantic Story of His Boy hood, Told by a New York Edi tor. Chicago Herald. The recent publication of "The Life of Roscoe Conkling" reminds me of. an interesting and romantic story told me by the editor of a prominent New Tor state journal, who was a close friend of Senator Coukling, . and which has never been published. The editor was sitting late at night with Senator Conkling, after the latter had delivered one of his grandest speeches during an exciting campaign. They sat for some time in silence be fore a brightly glowing fire, Into which Conkling gazed intently. At last he spoke upon the theme .of all themes — ! Jove. .-lie spoke with the same elo quence and brilliancy that had distin guished his effort of the evening. "In my boyhood," he said. "1 fell in love. In love with an ideal— in love with that glorious character, Mary, Queen of Scots. What a woman What grace, what beauty, what magnetism, what power! I have loved her all my life." The editor listended to his rhapsody and thought it a graceful fancy of a great man. ■ : "1 should never again have thought of it," said he in concluding the story, "had it not been for the circumstances ■of a few months later. I was call ing upon a beautiful .-; and . famous woman, whose name tor many years has been associated * with * that j of Senator Conkling. As I rose to go I passed the mantel, and - a handsomely framed cabinet-sized photograph caught my eye. I bent my head and saw that jit was a picture of the lady upou whom S I was calling, taken in the costume of Mary, Queen of Scots."' — . ' -.'

The Age at Which They Are Said • to Be Most Entertaining. New York Sun. Time was when to be sixteen was the best thing that could happen to a young gill. It was the ago of dewy freshness, of innoces; impressibility,; and of all the other delightful but rather verdant virtues which have won the heart of the poet to song and wooed the mind of the sage to something better than his : philosophy. But sweet sixteen is in short dresses to-day, and still under the rule of her governess. Her affections have not yet departed from ; her dolls, and she treats the few. young men of acquaintance with the simplicity of a child. It was a good thing once to be sixteen; it is a good thing now to be wenty; to be twenty-five is better still, . but to be twenty-eight is to be blest! "There is no time in a woman's life when she is so delightful (married or un married, but particularly the latter)." said an observing man yesterday, "as she is from twenty-five to thirty. She still has the enthusiasm of youth, and much of the tolerant sense of middle life. Her judgment is mature and her opinions carry weight. The "shyness and timidity or her girlhood have passed into a poise of manner and a gracious dignity that places her friends at once at their easy best. She has had experi ence has given her a clear understand ing of the. world as it really is and of herself without illusions. Therefore her estimates and criticisms of life are sharp and sure, and usually to be trusted, because she has no theories to bolster up and no illusious to perpet uate." "But there is something to be said on the other side," said a woman of twenty-six who heard him. "It may look like very smooth sailing from the out side, but one can have little idea how much tact it takes to steer straight in the narrow path of the five years that lie between twenty-five and thirty. In the first place, a woman at that age hardly knows where to place herself. She is neither young nor old. She is what Julian Hawthorne calls 'still young,' and the little adjective adds ten years at a stroke. It' a woman who is only 'still young' takes the coy and kittenish role, she makes herself immortally ridiculous, and deservedly so. She has sometimes even to fear letting herself be spontane ous and natural, lest some one shall dub her the 'girlish old girl.' To be older than her years makes a prig of her at once, and men and gods will shun her. "To the very young man she must be grandmotherly without hurting his dear little vanity by superior wisdom and patronage. "To the middle-aged man she must respond with a maturity of judgment that matches his own, and yet she must continually suggest the in nocence of sixteen. To the man between the two she may perhaps be nearer her natural self, and yet even with him she has to continually to remember that she must never assume the equality of knowledge or experience or judg ment which she is sure she really pos sesses. She is often truer in her judg ments and wiser in her conclusions than he is he must never suspect it. She may be cleverer than he is, but she must be clever enough to conceal it. She must follow him always, but, like little lulus, it must be 'with unequal footsteps' or his vanity is wounded. From twenty-five to thirty a woman has the most difficult part of her life to live. She has to dissemble in the present, re member from the past and borrow from the future. She may be delightful, but she is far from being delighted. Do you begin to realize it?" ■ «»- PERTAINING TO WOMEN. "Stub's Style." published in one of the recent numbers of the Wellesley girls paper, "The Prelude," is the cause of much comment in college journals. Dr. Magill, president of Swarthmore college, is in Europe with his wife and three daughters. The other two daugh ters are at Philadelphia, one studying njusic and the other painting. An imperial ukase has been published in the German Military Journal order ins that the regiment of dragoons en titled the Queen of England's regiment henceforth be called the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland's regiment. It is not known to the general public, though well known to her friends, that Mrs. Ward McAllister -devotes the greater part of her time to literature. She is a remarkably well read woman. She is a subscriber to hosts of magazines and periodicals of all descriptions, and is an encyclopaedia on a great many sub jects. She has a very large and well chosen library, to which she is con stantly adding. She is regarded as au thority on American genealogy. The "National training school of cookery," established fifteen years ago in London, Eng.. has during that time instructed 40,000 pupils. During the first six months of the present year the number in attendance on its various classes was 2.115. The school is self supporting. It occupies a commodious building of its own, which is now more than half paid for from the profits re alized on the many thousand dinners that it has served at the South Kensing ton exhibitions. The main object of this institution is to supply properly trained plain cooks. The Yellow Garter club has been or ganized in Wilkesbarre, Pa. The club takes its name from the article which all the members are required to wear. The object of the club is to get the members ready for the next leap year, and the yellow gaiter was chosen be cause its color most nearly resembles that of the orange blossom. The young men of the town are in a dreadful state, as the club has given it out that at the regular meeting the qualities, moral and financial, of the masculine portion of the community are discussed. If these prove satisfactory, the fortunate indiv idual is. put on the list headed "Fair Game." Two years ago eight ladies in Milford, Me., decided that the town needed a new hall. They organized themselves into a sewing society and went to work. At tiie end of the year, having given several entertainments in addition to the sewing, they had $425. With this as nest egg, they hired the rest and began on a building. As soon as the building was boarded, though yet without doors and windows, they set up a cake and ice cream counter one night last Au gust on a carpenter's bench, and added to their store. In September a good floor had been laid, and they held a dance. This netted *GO. Since then two or three dances have been held each month, each of which has netted at least *25. Now the hall is finished on the outside, though the inside, with tne exception of the floors, it is yet in a rough state. It has cost about $l,Coo,and the present debt is about half that sum. A furnace has been put in at a cost of $185, and a kitchen and din ing room in the basement have been furnished with a stove, dishes, tables, lamps, etc. The women are well pleased with their success. In all her generous old age, the city of Paris was the chosen home of the benevolent Duchess of Galliera; and as she had done so much for her native city, she dertennined to leave a name to be equaly \ revered in • the French capital; Almost her last appearance in public was when she went to open an immense orphanaee at Meudon, . near Paris, and a home for poor J priests, de stined to afford shelter to no less than 150 venerable and - aged clergymen, who, but for her generosity under the anti-Christian government, which at present *3s' supreme in France, might have perished of want.

In all the Duchess of Galliera has given to the poor of Paris and Genoa not less than -123.000,000 francs, and it is well knownthat her pri vate charity was almost as great as her public benefactions. ■ But in this case the left hand knew not what the right hand did. . Besides this, she has built a museum ; which . she has presented to Paris, and which she has caused to be erected In a new quarter of the city, where such an institution will be of great benefit to the inhabitants. It is destined to contain all the works of art which formerly embellished her palace in the Hue de Varennes. The Society-Woman. Woman's World. The actual society woman of New York, Boston or Philadelphia repre sents a type of another kind. She prides herself upon a sort of intellect ual exclusiveness, and, in a way, thanks God that she is not as other women are. She it is that furnishes the originals of ■ those subtly analyzed creations of so many of the distinctively American novelists. To school her self into a passionless calm is one of her aims, and to be able to indulge in close, introspective selr study is one of her pleasures. Men are interesting to her. especially when she experiences feelings about them con trary to those she wishes to have or thinks she ought to have. Her amuse ments are morbid rather than active; she affects a little philosophy, inclining to pessimism, but manages to surround herself with art and comfort. Marriage, if at all sympathetic and happy, gives a somewhat more healthy and every-day turn to her views, and in company she in one of the brightest and most fascinat ing of her race. French Physicians Favor a Device for Deafness. Pirns, Feb. 3.— Physicians look with favor upon the invention for relieving deafness which was recently intro duced here by H. A.
